Milan, ITALY July 30, 2005 -- Grammy Winning artist Sananda Maitreya releases his finished and mastered album "Angels & Vampires - Volume I". From May 2004 till May 2005 Sananda gradually released the rough versions of the songs in Chapters on his website, with the music download service WeedShare, which allows file-sharers to participate in the distribution and earn money from it with a share in the sales up to 35%.
The mastered version of the Album is now available, also for Mac-users, to download as single songs or as full album.
Sananda first announced "Angels & Vampires" as his follow-up project to his last release "WildCard – The Jokers' Edition" in 2001.
Maitreya about the project: "Angels & Vampires relies quite heavily for its musical support from the four basic food groups of live music: real drums, bass, guitar and keyboards and went with a more intimate and organic sound in order to reintroduce sonic sub tones back into the bodies energy matrix long weakened by compressed digital overload and its over emphasis. Sonic sub tones help to bolster the bodies electromagnetic and sense of overall wellbeing. Angels & Vampires also sought
to create a sound base which would provide more emotional space in which the songs might breathe and feel less constricted. I felt that the WildCard project was a little too "studio-orientated", but was what the time and circumstances required. With this project, I wanted it to be less about the studio and more about me and the songs”.
The term he uses to describe this new music and more organic approach is:
POST MILLENIUM ROCK.
All songs are written, arranged, produced and performed by Sananda Maitreya, except for "Angie" which is written by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger.
The project was recorded at Jungle Sound Station Milano and mastered at Nautilus Mastering Studios in Milano – Italy.
There are no plans for traditional CD distribution, each customer will be able to download the CD cover and the Booklet from the website.
"Angels & Vampires - Volume I" is Sananda's 6th project after the release of:
* 2001/2003 "WildCard -The Jokers' Edition"
* 1995 "Vibrator"
* 1993 "Symphony Or Damn"
* 1989 "Neither Fish Nor Flesh"
